There's probably no other hotel on Lake Wörthersee that can live up to the standard of Schloss Seefels. After all, there's no other place where you are surrounded by valuable works of art in suites that reflect the personal style of hotelier Helena Ramsbacher. The water of the lake laps gently against the shore directly in front of the windows and balconies. It offers welcome cooling in summer. But thanks to the heated pool directly in the lake, it's available all year round. The spa pampers guests with first-class products from Valmont. And the kitchen only serves delicious dishes. Incidentally, there's now also a lighter version based on the easy eating principles of bestselling author Ursula Vybiral.
